Which did you play, Turn-Based or Real-Time??

TB.

The only thing that sucked about it IMO was that the "automatic combat engager" didn`t kick in before your foes litterarily were steppin' on your toes.

- Zen

 

All the hard fights in my case were played out in turned based. The rest in realtime. All those random encounters with one wolf or kite who was running away made the game boring if not in realtime.

 

Switched between both depending on the character I played, the people in my party and the enemies we were fighting.

 

I did the whole thing real time.I really do hate turn based it just slows me down.

 

Real-time all the way.It's just more realistic.

 

I prefer real-time. Switched to real-time when the enemy was heavely outnumbered an out-levelled though.

Hey, wait a second! Didn't the manual brag about that you wouldn't have to fight such battles?

 

I started out in turn-based, but ended up playing real-time for almost every fight. In the later half of the game, the battles are so easy that playing them turn-based just takes longer.

 

I'm slow and lazy so 100% turn-based.

 

actually i've always preferred to play turn based combat..... probs just a carry over from the heady c64 days with pools and curse

 

Arcanum is also slow and lazy at times which is extra annoying in real-time battles. Diablo II is much better for action anyway.

 

And other Mating Cries of the Moronic.

 

WTF?Proverbius!I have right to my opinion and if you don't like it then it's your problem.I could write much more to you but I would hate to be banned because I like this community.

 

I played real time. Turn based was boring. Why waste time when you can already kill them without getting killed yourself.

 

Hey Maniac, I think what he was pointing out was, Not that he didn't like your opinion, but..

"Real-time is more realistic"

Well, duh. It's called real-time because its realistic. So what you said was just kinda redundant. :smile: Almost like saying "That salt is really salty!"

Now do you understand? :smile:

 

No, Geek. Real-time means that time in the game is continous. Realism has very little to do with it. Compare Age of Empires with Civilization for instance.

 

More realistic?.. The game's anything but realistic in any mode.

 

But of course fantasy should be as realistic as possible! Eh, wait a second......

 

The only time i used turn-based was when I had first bought the game. Real time gives the game a certain feel that turn-based doesn't.

 

Feel free to expand upon that, flame away. I never ban for flaming. Spamming the forum with a bunch of pointless posts, sure.

Saying real time is more realistic is about as stupid as it gets though, since it's a much more simple model.

By all means, try to correct me on this.
